How come nobody came up with F Null or F0 or F Zero? It comes before all those F amps. Thanks Jacco!
Since Mr. Pass uses the letter X most of the time like AX100 or XP-20 and etc, I would suggest,
X - for extreme and S - sonic or sound. So it would be express as,
X-SP1 for preamplifier or X-SA1 for amplifier and then create a nice unique logo for it and it should look cool. 😎

I like "The Defibulator" for how the sound may stop your heart. I presume it will be the "P1" which is classy all the way. I also think that if you were to name a component "Papa," it should be a one-off designed and built by the members of DIYAudio in appreciation for Mr. Pass effort to make the world a better place. I mean that literally. This one man has helped me remove the bad taste that has been in my mouth since I returned home to the west. I have only ever found this magnitude of grace in third world nations(many people) and in our heroes(a few)! Quite frankly, the only new heroes I have from the west in the last 20 years are Hugo Chavez and Nelson Pass!
So do we make a cooperative effort to use our mountain of resources and reasonable group wealth to get the best artists, wood and metal workers to make a chassis. The best circuit designers should oversee DIY do it's thing and try to use all of our brains to come up with an original thought. I am well respected laquer finisher and would love to shoot the wood. Think about it, a buck or two from everyone. I am not saying that it would sound better than his designs, but we should be able to make it infinitely better looking! I like the look of the FW stuff, but to me the Pass Labs amps look more like Robocop than sexy or creative. I think we should also experiment will how colours and material composition can alter our perspective of the sound.
I think it would be cool if it was a complete system up to the speakers. Resourcing some kits from the DIY community might help the speed of developement but might also taint the purity of the all original design. My idea of what it should include is simple and in the spirit of FirstWatt. The BOM must be cheap and still sound great if you were to DIY one for yourself. I think we should also try to use parts that are readily available so if everyone in the DIY community decides to build one, parts prices do not sky rocket(like the latest spike in 6GM8 tubes thanks to John Broskie's clever designs. I like the idea of a DSD/PCM transport to a Sabre32 DAC chip with I/V stage, pre-amp with a bit of glow to temp him to dabble in tubes, an amp that you could weld with but only supplies enough volts to charge your cell phone!
If we wanted to make it just a crazy chassis so we could put all of his favorite FW bits in it. I am thinking of a water/thermo-electric cooling system to cool the F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F... devices with a switch to select between them. A couple of power supplies so that he could run more than two channels. His new preamp, B1 buffers, D1 I/V, and so on. However, I think he may have enough of his own designs kicking around! Still, he may have favorites.
P.S. It should be mass loaded with vino that uses thermo-electric cooling and has humity control so he can store the best of both worlds in one cabinet. Think sexy Wurlitzer that serves up tasty beverages and sooths the ears too! If anything, we should all chip in a buck to fly me and a spray pot to finish his Kleinhorns and El Pipe-O or whatever he called the sub!
